The decision of the government to pass the bill without seeking the opinion of the masses and without proper debate shows its appeasement policy. The other parties as well are equally responsible for this ensuing debacle of the education system. Some parties though reiterate that there should not be anyappeasement butthey can be seen pursuing their vote bank politics when they helped to pass the bill unanimously.To see the pros and cons of the decision we need to get to the past i.e. the Mandal commission . It was adopted in 1989 which led to such a furor that the then Prime minister Mr. Vishwanath Pratap Singh had to resign, but he had already given the blow. The integrity of the report can not be doubted as the so called lower caste people have not developed as some of the upper caste people. But this never suggests that in order to equalize every body we should cut the head of some people and provide a screw jack below the ass of others. Unfortunately this is exactly what is being done. Also after so many years of the of reservation policy much change has not been seen in the overall condition and the mentality has detoriated as if the reservation is their birthright.
This should also bring to the politicians' mind that there is some inherent flaw in there policy as regard to the development of the society (though not in their personal benefits in terms of vote bank) The preamble also clearly mentions that there should be equality of opportunity and not that some body should be given advantage over others.When Dr. Ambedkar accepted the Simon Commission decision regarding the reservations for the SC/ST in Pune pact, Mahatma Gandhi showed his dissent saying it would widen the gap between the upper caste and the lower caste people. This is exactly what can be seen in the present scenario. This can be seen in all the places where such discriminations are made. The Mandal Commission was adopted by full measures in the Colleges under State Government and there we can see a clear divide between the different castes. The students are divided in various factions as FC/BC/OBC etc.After the Mandal Commission II was adopted a major change can be observed among students of the other elite colleges which are to come under the purview. The change is : The students are now trying to identify the OBCs and non OBCs. In my opinion this was bound to happen under such circumstances.The other demand put forward is the reservations in the private enterprises. I am at a fault to understand that how do we plan to see India shining and have a double digit growth with such ridiculous ideas.
Now, the propellers of the reservation policy would contend about the social duties. The answer is pretty clear, if at all you want to bring equality to the society take care of the people below the poverty level. They may be upper caste or lower caste or any body but for God sake do not curb the intelligent and deserving candidates only because they do not belong to the lower caste.Many people then also contend that, in the past the backward caste people have been treated badly. So what do you want now? You want to avenge those maltreatment from the generation who is broad minded and tries to weigh everybody equally. Some of the actions taken is praise worthy as to allow the SC/ST students to prepare for the IITJEE exam under the guidance of the Professors of the institute itself but again there is no justification of curbing the merit.
